Four-star DL JaMarkus Pittman commits to Ole Miss

Ole Miss scored a massive 2027 commitment as the Rebels reeled in four-star Memphis (Tenn.) MASE defensive tackle JaMarkus Pittman, he announced on Friday.

“Just the coaching staff and relationships, that’s what stands out,” Pittman told On3 of what he liked at Ole Miss. “I loved it (the defense this year).”

Defensive line coach Randall Joyner just hosted him for camp on Wednesday and two days later, he publicly committed. The 6-5, 300-pounder enjoyed his time at camp with Joyner.

“I liked it, I liked it,” Pittman said. “I liked his energy. He never stops. He knows what he’s doing. Nine times out of 10, he’s going to get you to where you need to go.”

Pittman picked the Rebels over Boston College, Florida, Florida State and others, he reported.

According to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, he’s the No. 105 overall prospect, No. 5 defensive lineman and No. 5 prospect in Tennessee.

Pittman is commitment No. 3 in the 2027 recruiting class for the Rebels. He joins Mississippi On300 prospects in offensive lineman Li’Marcus Jones and defensive back Trae Collins.
